We currently allow this via databases but to do this at a CloudSite level we are exploring this option to either allow only a chargeable option or allow you to export your backups to cloud based storage such as dropbox, one drive or google drive.

This is not planned at this time since restoring a database via the control panel is much easier and faster. To do this via FTP would require to login to your control panel, get your FTP credentials, upload your file, go back to your control panel and select the file for restore. This may be applicable to multiple GB databases but with home internet speeds well over 100mbps on average and only getting faster I don't think this really warrants the development time. I would like to see some more comments as to why customers want this feature as the control panel interface works just fine.

Thanks Christer for the suggestion. This is being worked on. We are planning on offering a feature where you can allow us to auto scale your site for you based on limits that you set such as a budget and length of time. More details to come...
